Whether an impulse is continued through the neuron depends on the magnitude of the voltage in the axon hillock.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon hillock is responsible for integrating incoming signals from the dendrites and determining whether to generate an action potential. This decision is based on the magnitude of the voltage at the axon hillock threshold. If the voltage exceeds this threshold, an action potential is generated and propagated down the axon. Therefore, the continuation of an impulse through the neuron is dependent on the magnitude of the voltage at the axon hillock.
